“The club was put together by scratch and it just my vision. We opened Friday, November 3, after a fantastic soft opening on October 28.

“Our bar is a sports bar with 14 screens including projector area, a darts zone holding four dartboard cubicles, 12 championship standard pool tables, two American pool tables and one snooker table.

“The tables, sitting area and darts are all in their own areas so everyone can do their thing without being in the way of each other. We have a large bar with an extensive choice of drinks.

“We open at 10am every day and close late.  We tend to close between 10pm and midnight are currently gauging interest and see how we do.”
